Rice was read for the consideration of the Council: �I Caldwell, Idaho December 4, 1967 Mayor N. C. Smith City of Caldwell Caldwell, Idaho Dear Coley: This is to serve as a formal claim against the "City of Caldwell'' for damage caused to our automobile on November 28, 1967. I reported this to you by phone the night. of November 28, 1967, but I will give you the details as follows. Our 1968 Oldsmobile was parked or. the north side of the street of Dearborn between the block of 11th and 12th. Between the hours of 4 PM and 4:30 PM a City of Caldwell leaf cleaning crew worked this area. It was at this time a piece of City of Caldwell equipment struck the left rear of our automobile damaging the car. While this was not personally seen, it was the only thing that could have &7-aged the auto. During the leaf cleaning process, _ several cars parked in this area were moved by the city crew. This can be verified if de- sired. I might mention that by the act of moving personal cars, the employees of the city were very much out of line; however this is something else. We have had our car examined by Mr. Tom Campbell of the Tom Campbell Auto Body and his findings were `.hat the car can be repainted and fixed at a cost of $10.63. A copy of his estimate is attzched. We are going to have the car repaired December 9, 1967, this will be an all day Job. I might say that this is of considerable inconvenience to us, since the car will be in the repair shop all day. Would you please process this claim for ns and send the check to cover the $10.63 to me at P. 0. Box 1234, Caldwell, Idaho. Thanks Coley for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, /5/ I Ferrol R. Rice P. O.
